The Sauvignon Riserva DOC 2022 from Wassererhof is a distinctive white wine from South Tyrol, produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The Riserva designation signifies extended ageing compared to a classic Sauvignon DOC, resulting in greater depth, complexity and structure. This additional maturation enhances the wine’s layered character while preserving varietal freshness and precision. The Riserva style reflects the estate’s quality-driven approach and its focus on producing a Sauvignon with clear origin and ageing potential. Following careful harvesting and gentle pressing, vinification aims to balance aromatic expression, structure and maturity. The extended ageing period adds tension and breadth, clearly setting this wine apart from a purely youthful, fruit-forward style. In the glass, the Sauvignon Riserva shows an intense yellow hue. The nose reveals a complex aromatic profile with notes of elderflower, citrus and gooseberry, complemented by subtle mature nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied, spicy and fresh, supported by precise acidity and a long, harmonious finish.
